Technical Training

Hofincons Group has partnered with knowledgeable, experienced and industries big names to offer effective technical training courses. One of the companies is Marshall Institute, USA that has worldwide experience in offering technical courses and have effectively delivered for several years.

All of the public maintenance training subjects can be customized and delivered at your facility, as "on-site" training. "Customized" training means that the instructor can tailor the training around your operation. This can be accomplished by adding a "mini-assessment" ahead of the training, which gives the instructor a “snap-shot” of the client’s facility prior to the training. This training format is most effective when held at the client’s facility. All questions, comments, and discussions are concentrated on your specific issues. In many instances, exercises can be completed on your equipment (when applicable).
